While stuck in traffic somewhere at Magallanes after the video shoot, Banana made me listen to the spoken word of Rudy Francisco. "Love Poem Medley." Every phrase was like accidently stepping on landmines...because almost every friggin' line is just incredibly, surprisingly RELEVANT and now I am firm on my requirement that my future boyfriend must also be a poet.
If I were watching this man live, I swear I would've thrown my underwear onstage. Or flipped a dozen tables screaming of its relevance.
Apparently, Charlie had shown this poem to Banana.

*flips table and flips person near table*
"... In fact, every time I try to write about love, my hands cramp
Just to show me how painful love can be.
And sometimes my pencils break just to prove to me that every now and then
Love takes a little more work than planned.
See, I heard that love is blind so I write all my poems in Braille.
And my poems are never actually finished because true love is endless..."
I just love the people's reaction to this man's slam poetry.
